Many residents that have submitted and email to Bregg have already received responses.
“I have received many, many emails and social media posts encouraging us to locate a Buy-Low Foods store in the community of Houston, B.C. While it is too early for me to answer with any certainty, we are reviewing the opportunity very seriously and having discussions with a number of people that can provide us with the information and insight necessary to determining whether or not it would be viable for us to open a store in the community,” said Bregg.
Bregg says that he is very impressed with the warmth and passion of all the people that have written to him. “I do appreciate the confidence that they have shown in our brand, your thinking of Buy-Low Foods as an option for the residents of Houston and we’re very hopeful that we’ll have the opportunity to serve you.”
